'The book will allow entrepreneurs to better understand why knowledge spillovers are particularly important for start-ups suffering the liability of being new and small. With limited financial and technological resources, start-ups endeavor to identify and capture knowledge spillovers at a limited cost, to seize market opportunities, and to survive develop their capabilities. [...] This is a well-written, clear, easy-to-read, and insightful book. It provides a well-balanced gathering of theoretical, qualitative, and quantitative research in various settings, and a large variety of countries in which empirical studies have been conducted, including Australia, China, Germany, Mexico, Netherland, Portugal, Spain, Taiwan, Turkey, and the United States, are cited. This book is highly suitable for scholars, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and master's students. I recommend the use of this book in MBA and master's classes of knowledge management, entrepreneurship, innovation management, and strategic management.' - Laurent Scaringella, Assistant Professor, Rennes School of Business, France

'The book edited by Joao J. Ferreira, Leo-Paul Dana and Vanessa Ratten, which brings together more than 30 internationally recognized experts in the field of KS and entrepreneurship, is a decisive step forward in the exploitation and exploration of this new paradigm. The paradigmatic nature of KSTE is illustrated, in the chapters of this book, in particular, by the ability of KSTE to integrate a wide variety of problems, in different contexts, at different analytical levels (micro, meso and macro), and within different scientific disciplines. [...] Each chapter of this book contributes important insights to our understanding of knowledge spillover and strategic entrepreneurship, and the book as a whole provides essential research avenues on the theme.' - International Journal of Entrepreneurial Behavior & Research, Volume 23, Issue 4
